Paradoxes and theorems every developer should know

What do german tanks, your birthday and the speed of light have to do with our daily development work? It turns out, quite a lot!

During this presentation, I will explain a series of mathematical theorems and paradoxes that we encounter every day during development, but we often fail to recognize. By using these theorems, we can create better code, find more secure and efficient solutions to our problems, and it even helps you out communicating with clients and project owners.

Very entertaining and much more relevant to everyday work than you'd expect.

If there's any area for improvement it's in adding a little more explanation about the various problems before moving on to the solution. In some cases it wasn't clear what the question was until we were well into the answer.

This was actually one of the favourite non-technical talks of the conference. The speaker was able to captivate the audience and was able to bring across topics that are actually quite hard to grasp. Some of the topics covered are a bit more far-fetched in real live then others.

On a side note, somebody mentioned that the walking around of the speaker was distracting, I liked it, it showed that he was at ease with the subject and more important it brought a bit of a change compared to other speakers I saw that where just standing behind the speaker desk and not moving at all.

On the organiser part, maybe, just maybe you could have scheduled the talk in a bigger room :)

An interesting 'softer' subject that appealed to a lot of people as the the room was packed. There weren't enough chairs to seat everyone. Joshua is an entertaining and knowledgeable speaker who can keep his audience engaged.
Thank you!
